Your Mission: Promote Digital Citizenship


The Impossible Missions Force (IMF) is a small team of secret agents used for covert missions against dictators, evil organizations, and occasionally crime lords. Today, the Possible Missions Force, PMF, will break down the evils of bad digital etiquette and spread the good news of digital citizenship across the land

Part 1:
Explore the nine themes or elements of digital citizenship: Your team has 4 minutes to acquire the necessary information to be familiar with these elements. Be ready for the ultimate test . . . you never know when, you never know how . . . just be ready. Can you name all nine?


Part 1A:
Check your ergonomics (a subset of #8. Digital Health & Wellness: physical and psychological well-being in a digital technology world.)

Will you model good ergonomics in your classroom? How will you promote good ergonomics in your classroom?

Part 2:
Read the work of a prior PMF team who researched Digital Etiquette in the Classroom. (Sorry that their video no longer exists, but the text and links are still informative.) What they report is merely the tip of the iceberg. What’s your worst fear about technology in the classroom (students won’t pay attention to you, students will do inappropriate things with their technology, . . .). Share your fear with your PMF fellow agents. Now research a way to handle it proactively. Share which one you think might work for you (it’s okay if your solution is a mashup of the ones you found or comes from another source).
